#24 #ChurchToo and healing through education - #MeToo series part 2 (Rachel Bradshaw)

It seems that there are few places, if any, where vulnerable can
be protected from abuse. Whether or not an abuse was preventable,
it is vital that the victim is given the proper tools with which to
process what they have gone through. My guest for this episode,
Rachel, was abused as a child, but she says that the real trauma
didn't come until she was old enough to wrestle with the moral and
spiritual implications of what happened to her based on her
homeschool education and Evangelical Christian upbringing. The
Bible she was told to read led to her to believe not only that she
was responsible for what happened to her but that it was a sin that
she deserved punishment for.

This is part 2 of an ongoing series featuring stories of the
#MeToo movement.
